- UnitedHealth Group revealed in a regulatory filing that the IRS is investigating the company, seeking to "significantly increase taxable income" for tax years 2017 through 2020.
- The IRS probe may also force UnitedHealth to pay more "for subsequent years after 2020," according to the filing.
Why it matters: A successful IRS challenge could require UnitedHealth to pay substantially more in federal taxes than originally reported across four tax years (2017-2020), with the filing indicating the exposure could extend beyond 2020 as well.
